You would need to get your SIM card from a carrier like at&t or t-mobile, or any other GSM based carriers. US GSM cell phones work on 1900 MHz (and sometimes also 850 MHz ). Most other countries have GSM networks on 900 or 1800 MHz. Check on the website of your cell phone manufacturer to see which frequencies your model phone supports. you would still have to sign up for a 1 year or 2 year contract with the providers to use their services. Im not sure about prepaid accounts. If the phone supports VOIP calling then technically you dont need a contract, you could make calls over your home Wifi network, I have done this with my nokias n95 and e71.

You can use a Sim card adapter. I use a T-Mobile pre pay micro Sim card and it works perfectly on this phone with the adapter.

You will not need a sim card if you arent going over seas. But you can just go to Verizon and ask for a sim card for free.

You have to have your own sims card for this particular phone. Unlocked means that the phone can use any cell phone tower.

If you want to use it with the original SIM you can use it, and pay hefty roaming charges. If it is un-locked, then you can buy a local one, preferably prepaid and bingo, you are in business talking cheaply with the locals and paying international charges to call home

Hi,i live in Trinidad & Tobago and the phone comes factory unlocked so you just place SIM card from your local phone company in it and use it ... no hassle.

The phone isn't unlocked. But if you call att. You can get it unlocked easily. Just get the IMEI and then call them. They will give you a code. Put in an unrecognized sim card and then enter the code. Then you're good to go.

Yes you need a sim card even then you're locked out. I would suggest family mobile which is only 43.00 a month with a sim card . buy the BLU. Its an amazing phone

The reason one might use an "unlocked" phone is that you are not locked into a specific service provider (so that you can use it overseas). I imagine you could buy the phone and take it to Verizon and have them provide sim card. Just as easy to get a phone from Verizon to begin with.

Its not unlocked then you need to go request an unlock code to make your sim work unless you have at&t;

I purchased mine and it was unlocked. All I had to do was put my sim card in.

What service provider do you have? It may not require a SIM card for service. If you do need a SIM go to your provider's store and they will give you one. Or at least Verizon did for me at no charge.

since neither of my phones haf SIM cards I had to purchase them at a Verizon store which incidentally they gave me for free but I'm can assume only. Since you have a sim card that all you need to do is put it in
